Dress Code

Inverness Golf Club’s Dress Code is designed to enhance the overall Club experience for all our members, families, and guests, while reflecting and preserving our standard of excellence, Club culture and traditions.

Members are fully responsible for informing their guests of the Dress Code and acceptable attire. In addition, parents have the responsibility to provide clear guidance to their children and ensure that they are adhering to the Dress Code. The Dress Code will always apply unless specifically modified for a Club event.

Please Note

We all take great pride in the quality of the environment at Inverness Golf Club and the Dress Code is an important part of maintaining that feel. Please cooperate with management staff as they enforce Dress Code to uphold the club culture of Inverness Golf Club. Members will be notified of any violation of the Dress Code. The Board of Directors will take corrective action when necessary to insure adherence to the Club’s policies on the Dress Code.
